Question

How to treat painful pediatric tonsillitis?

Answer

Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose medication based on symptoms and perform some local treatments, such as rinsing, to reinforce the efficacy. If necessary, children can be given oral painkillers or fever-reducing medication. If the medication is ineffective or there are recurrent episodes, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, proper warmth should be maintained to avoid exacerbating symptoms due to cold.
